This is the weekend of the biennial Visions exhibit and this year it is at the Visions Art Museum in San Diego. I am not a very good chronicler of this event, I seem to do more talking than picture taking! Photography is prohibited in the galleries, but I have taken some people pictures that show portions of quilts on the walls. Can't be helped.
This is a very well balanced exhibit and offers viewers a broad span of what is being done in art quilting today. I see more handwork in these pieces and feel they are more "quilt-like" than some exhibits in the past.
This picture is from the docent training group on Thursday. The lady on the right is Kathleen Kastles from Hawaii, her work is included in this exhibit. The third person from the right is Ree Nancarrow from Alaska, also one of the artists represented in the exhibit. The quilt on the far left is by Marilyn Henrion, a New York artist, and Barbara Lange of Germany made the yellow piece in the center.

This is the view when you enter the museum with the Founder's Wall on the right and the main desk seen on the left. All the way through is the door that goes into the rest of the building. The galleries are on the right. Elegant in her gold jacket is Museum Director Beth Smith.
Taking care of business at the main desk are Lisa Yoder, who is wearing her original, heavily beaded vest, and Deanna Bell.
